Review for: Full-day Old City Tour

Our experience on the Istanbul Old City tour was phenomenal, and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible guide, Batu! From start to finish, Batu's knowledge of Istanbul's rich history and vibrant culture was truly impressive. He didn't just recite facts; he wove captivating narratives that brought the ancient sites to life. Every question we had was met with a thoughtful and detailed answer, demonstrating his deep understanding of the city. Beyond his expertise, Batu was consistently polite, respectful, and genuinely a pleasure to spend the day with. His passion for Istanbul was infectious, and it made our exploration so much more engaging and meaningful. Adding to the fantastic experience, the lunch provided was also surprisingly delicious and a welcome break amidst our historical journey. If you're planning a trip to Istanbul and want to truly immerse yourself in the wonders of the Old City, I cannot recommend this tour, and especially tour guide Batu, highly enoug

Just back from Istanbul and what a whirlwind! The hotel transfer was smooth and stress-free – a great start. Lunch was a delicious dive into local flavors, exactly what I was hoping for. But the real star was our guide. Engaging, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about Istanbul, they brought the city's history and culture to life. Definitely enhanced the whole experience!

Review for: Full-day Old City Tour

It was a good and enjoyable experience. Our guide, Burak, was excellent—knowledgeable, approachable, and very commendable. The historical places we visited were fascinating, and the information shared by our guide made the experience even more enriching. The post-tour cruise was just average; it took us around Istanbul but didn’t stand out much. However, the lunch was fantastic—great food in a must-try restaurant. Overall, it was a memorable and worthwhile experience for me.

Review for: Istanbul Old City & Bosphorus Full-Day Historical Tour

I joined the tour alone, and the guide was very kind and considerate, checking in on me to make sure I was okay and having fun. They also taught me how to take great photos with the mosque in the background and took pictures for me. The guide was excellent, providing detailed explanations of historical facts and background. Lunch was a delicious Istanbul specialty, including dessert, and I was completely full! I was thoroughly satisfied with both the guide and the lunch restaurant. Thank you very much.

We had such a wonderful time on this tour! The Bosphorus was absolutely beautiful, and visiting the Blue Mosque was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Everything was well-organised, making it easy and stress-free to explore some of Istanbul’s most iconic places. The free lunch was also a lovely bonus and gave us the chance to relax and enjoy some delicious Turkish food along the way. Our tour guide was fantastic—very knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. They shared interesting stories and information about the places we visited, which made the experience even more meaningful. Overall, we highly recommend this tour, especially if it’s your first time in Istanbul. It was a great way to see the city, learn about its history, and enjoy the beautiful Bosphorus in one day. Definitely worth it!
